Problem
You need to create a console application using the latest .Net Core version. In this case the assemblies for WPF or WinForms would not work because they depend on assemblies available in the Desktop compatibility pack. You may get an exception that the PresentationCore or System.Windows.Size assemblies are missing as well.
Solution
When you need to create a console application, reference the .Net Standard assemblies. They do not depend on the Windows types. The .Net standard assemblies do not have the word 'Windows' in their names. They are also available as NuGet packages.
